WILL YOU HELP FILL THESE BAGS ?

Our Navy League Council will be making its usual trip to the Lake City, Florida Veterans Administration Hospital again this Winter.  We bring these bags filled with the things the patients really need for their comfort and personal care, and every bag brings with it the joy of the holiday season.  Every chronic care patient at Lake City receives one of our red bags filled to the brim, and delivered with thanks and good wishes of the members and friends of our Council. 

This is our moment to bring a little brightness to the lives of some very lonely people and to show them that they are not forgotten.  Please look at the wish list on the next page and see if you can provide any of the items these veterans can use.  Also, donations in any amount you can afford will be greatly appreciated.
